Sierra Blanca dominates the northern reaches of this Otero County landscape, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the local geography. The settlement at The Rinconada sits near the confluence of several complex canyon systems, including Rinconada Canyon and Sulphur Spring Canyon. This terrain is characterized by a high density of named water sources such as Golondrina Spring, Cienegita Springs, and the colorfully named Miserable Springs, which likely served as vital landmarks for travel and land management in this arid region.
